CHINA GLAZE – It’s Alive

Hi Goddesses

Firstly, an announcement – for those of you who have entered the giveaway so far and wanted to see more glitter and more layering …. here it comes J Talking of the giveaway, it’s slowed a lot today. The blog roll needs to show at least 100 Followers for the prizes to be available, so please make sure all your friends join and enter J

Today we have China Glaze IT’S ALIVE from this year’s Hallowe’en Collection. Seriously, polish is corrupting my DNA. For a girl who hates blue and green nails, I now have over 30 of the buggers? How did that happen? And how do I even like them?

Let’s push these disturbances aside however, and dwell on the gothic majesty of It’s Alive. In all the photos, I have used 2 coats, with the exception of the middle finger which is just 1 coat, but over a coat of black to give it more depth.

I LOVE this polish. This is swamp green, cauldron stew green, olive with bits of bogies in it ! Love it !! it’s almost a neon olive, if you can imagine that, with a jellyish base then stacks of glitter, big and small, some bits slightly more neon than the others. I also love how it looks like green fruit pastels J

And now to the layering, all the fault of Glitta Gloves, who did a guest post for someone (sorry I forget who) and added a glitter called PITCH BLACK GLIMMER by NOPI. It gave the mani the mani real depth and a certain mystery, so it joined my lemming list.

Now successfully acquired, it jumped onto my index and ring fingers so that I could compare it to the single coat of It’s Alive over black. Pitch-Black Glimmer is like coal dust. A black jelly base, this has teeny tiny sparkles of black and holo silver – can you see the tiny blue flashes on the nails ? That’s the Pitch-Black Glimmer.
